Onyxgate: Tower

There is a book with a rose emblem on the top in the library. It contains information to a thing called Onyxgate which is probably located in the Tower.I can't read la last two lines of the first page that is showing when opening the book. You need the Nariatt-Laguage-guide to transliterate the text.Has anyone further information to the Onyxgate?

I've given translating the picture a crack, but all I've able to tell for sure is that the word below tower one the first page says October. However I noticed something while at Nariatt Beach, after getting the language guide I clicked on some of the Nariett text on the sign outside the area's Visitor's Center. The text lit up as well as some of the letters within the the guide itself, and the Nariett text around the area began changing to English!

I think if we can find more of these around the island, the text in the book will begin the to change into English. The guide shows four areas where there are examples of Nariett text; Nariett Beach, The Crow's Nest, The Library, and The Walk. I am also starting to think that this is in fact part of the Halloween puzzle.

I checked out the some of the recent artwork done by Crow looking for clues, I focused on the piece called "Michelle Honey & Dominic King" since it had Nariatt script on the top-left. Translating it revealed that it said "Nariatt Beach", so I went back to Nariatt Beach to visit Michelle but wasn't able to gather anything new from it. So all I was able to learn from this is that Michelle's last name is Honey.

I've translated the second page of the book, It has the dates "Sept 6" and "Oct 31", as well as "Onyx" written on the top-left of the page. I was able to translated the numbers us a pad I found in The Crow's Nest, but strangely when I returned to the area it had disappeared. If any could post a picture of the pad, it would be much appreciated.

The third page says "New Cyana Islands" and "Denver Colorado". Has anyone an idea what the last two lines of the first page are saying? The ones under the Word "October".

if you click the second arrow on from the left then right after it finished doing its thing and spinning to the second part theres a small rectangle at the bottom left. click the little hieroglyph to the left of it and it opens an area with a big orange screen that says offline.

I believe your talking about Naranvad, here is the link to it's thread.

I think I have translated the top of the first page, on the left it says "Rose", and on the right it says "2014". If I'm right all that leaves is to translate the bottom block of text on the page, and the book will be fully translated.

Hey, I've been trying to translate some of that smaller text in the book for at least an hour now. I don't know if I'll be able to get them, but I wish I could. However, for my fellow players working on the same puzzle, have you all thought about whether or not the runes in the circle will need translated (when I say in the circle, I mean in the place where say numbers on a clock would be). I know most of them don't look to be Nariatt, so we probably don't have to worry about it, but worth perhaps a thought. Also, I think I can make out faint text written on the left hand side pages in the book as well, I think they were towards the bottom. Maybe those lines are necessary too? Either way, these were just some of the concerns that were bugging me.

Another thing, I realized there's that trick in the Nariatt Zone for getting their language to automatically translate when you see it (except obviously in the book). The map in the pamphlet says there are examples of Nariatt Language at Crow's Nest, the Library, and the Walk. Even if you *** that the example at the Library is the book and that the example at Crow's Nest is the pad that has the number translations, where is the example at the Walk? Maybe it'll have it's own trick that helps the translation process. And speaking of the such tricks, did anybody experience auto-translation at Crow's Nest or the Library with any Nariatt writings found? If so, how?

Sorry that I wasn't as focused there as I'd like to be, I'm just so excited about this puzzle.

when I say in the circle, I mean in the place where say numbers on a clock would be.

I *** you are talking about the symbols on the first page? I've taken a look and I am fairly sure those are the twelve signs of the Zodiac.

They probably are, although I thought there were more than twelve. Perhaps I'm mistaken though.

I hate to double post, but I just checked. There are twelve or so on the very outside, but then right under them is another ring of runes, but they seem like they might just repeat the same runes over for the different zodiac sections, again, I could be wrong.

the example at Crow's Nest is the pad that has the number translations

If you don't mind me asking Yjirn(anew), but could you post a picture of the pad from The Crow's Nest? For some reason it no longer appears for me, I don't know if it's a bug, I've mentioned it in the front page chat.

I can't get access to it again either. Sorry, Darkus. But I did take a few notes on what each number was, if you wanted that. One lower dot is one. Two dots in a kind of colon shape is two. Three dots equally spaced vertically was three. Four dots - four. A straight/slightly curved line (like a parenthesis at the worst) is five. The five line with a dot to it's lower right is six. Five line with two dots in colon shape - seven. Line and three dots - eight. Line and four dots - nine. An "o" shape surrounded by vertical parenthesis was ten, not to be confused with horizontal parenthesis. Basically "(o)" but flipped ninety degrees. Sorry I can't provide a picture.

Thank you for the help Yjirn(anew), I wonder if that was a bug since I can no longer access Vaultus either, or if this is just a time related matter. I'm going to give The Walk another look to see if I can find the Nariatt example.

I would post an image but I don't know how I checked the FAQ but still don't get it.

Hey so i have been searching the walk for about an hour for any of the Nariatt language and have found nothing. I think that might be the last piece of the puzzle. Also for the numbers it said that Rose asked for the numbers translations so it might be useful elsewhere if you know the numbers.

Could the purple bead found outside the library have anything to do with this Halloween puzzle?

While it is possible that it could be, I don't believe so. The closest thing we have relating any of the beads to this puzzle would be the red, and yellow bead that appears in the "Kendra's Costume" artwork Crow posted a while back.

I just went to the Tower again, saw the beam shoot up into the sky (no big difference there), and then I believe I went straight to the library to look at the book again. This time, the book auto translated. I flipped through the pages and got a red/dark red bead. So, here's hoping that's solving it, but I could be wrong. For reference, the full text of the book is (I may be slightly wrong, the text at the bottom of the first page is still tiny):
